The early reviews from the London Film Festival are encouraging but I doubt a period piece about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict will have the same appeal as Bodyguard or the Night Manager. It might have been more suited to BBC2.

What hasn't been mentioned is The Little Drummer Girl, a 6-episode miniseries, all episodes have been directed by legendary Korean filmmaker Park Chan-Wook. The man behind Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy, Thirst, Stoker and The Handmaiden.

By all accounts he has done a sterling job on the series and this is predicted to be one of the biggest television hits of the year on both sides of the Atlantic. Even better than The Bodyguard. The reviews it's had so far based on the first 2 episodes have been extremely positive!

Stoker wasn't nearly as well received as his Korean work though.

Lots of money and a big name cast but I suspect being closer to a traditional LeCarre adaptation than the Night Manager was might limit its audience.

The risk is even if it does respectably it could be unfavourably compared to Bodyguard and unfairly labeled a flop.

True, Stoker wasn't but it was hardly a blip on his resume. Other than that he's a mighty fine director and even if TLDG is closer to LeCarre's adaptation i don't see what's wrong with that? This isn't The Night Manager Part 2. It's an adaptation of another one of his novels. It's gonna be a success even if the public like The Bodyguard more than this.

I think all 6 episodes will be available on iPlayer also as per the trailer so it might be worth adding 'No Spoilers' in the title of this thread just in case.
